A Personal Guide to Flourishing with a Sixth Sense

Blog

Enlightened Indigo Child is still very active, alive and well. Our focus is on getting the word out through social media. So please join us at our different social networks to ask questions and share thoughts. Also join our mailing list on the sidebar to continue receiving additional updates on being an Enlightened Indigo Child.

We recently had an interesting conversation on our Enlightened Indigo Child Facebook group page and I thought it would be beneficial to replay it here. I know that most of our blog members are not on Facebook but this subject discussed may be an important one for many parents of highly intuitive children.

Concerned Member:my daughter keeps telling me casually that she "must be a medium" because she has prophetic dreams, which is fine except I'm worried she may say this to someone who doesn't understand Indigo children and they will react harshly to her. (She is newly 9). I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thank you and be well!

Member 1 Response #1: she will be able to deal with it in her own way, fingers crossed.

Member 1 Response #2: she is not likely to tell just anyone

Member 1 Response #3: 9 is old enough to be discerning for an Indigo.

Member 2 Response #1: I believe it would be good for her to not have your fears.

Member 3 Response #1: My indigo baby will be 9 in December, he sees spirits but knows not to mention it outside of our family. Your Daughter will know who she can tell and who not to tell.

Member 3 Response #1: Member#1 said it best. life has a way of bring the best from the worst or worst from the best. be her support remind her of her infinite power she has control of to help us all. F*** FEAR SERIOUSLYFEAR=BAD/EVIL/SIN

Member 3 Response #2: I've helped a few kids understand and accept their gifts because they had no one else to talk with

Member 4 Response #1: Prophetic dreams are not uncommon for many people, even non-Indigos. It is a more acceptable topic to society than saying you can speak to angels or dead people (which many Indigos can) So I don’t think it is an issue to mention it to other people. But like most topics, we have to teach our children discernment about the topics we do speak about to others. (Just like we need to be careful when speaking about religion or politics, since many people are extremely opinionated on these subjects and get easily agitated, defensive and offensive since they believe their opinion is the only right one. )Our children are the change that this world needs and we should encourage them to live an authentic life of who they are. But as parents we need them to understand that not everyone is on board with this philosophy and most will judge them or belittle them or label when they play this part out. Moving forward with this, I would tell my child that “some people don’t like the word “medium” because they find it creepy/ scary/ strange. So lets find a better way to say it.” Plus by calling herself a “medium”, she is already labeling herself. Not good for her personal growth long term. I think a better way would be for her to say, “I had a most exciting/unusual/vivid dream last night. Can I share it with you? “ This way she is not labeling herself nor forcing her belief system on anyone else. Choosing our words carefully before we speak can make a tremendous difference in how we are perceived by others and ourselves. Our words create our reality. It would be great if we could all learn this at an early age.

Concerned Member: Thanks all. I'm worried bc she will be away at summer camp and will only be able to write me letters and she is always talking about her dreams. This is a great way to prepare her.

Member 6 Response #1: keeping a dream journal may help her.

Member 6 Response #2: if she wanted to share a dream journal, she could call it 'imagination exercise' and pretend they are fictional stories instead of dreams...

Member 7 Response #1: My son talks to plants, every plant whether it is in a office or someone's front yard. He told me, "Mamma, people look at me weird." I told him he can stop doing it in front of people or just ignore the people." He said after a thought, "I will ignore the people; plants get ignored all the time."

Concerned Member: Turns out it was a mute point. When I presented her with a dream journal to decorate for camp and used member #4’s great ideas, my awesome kid said "Oh I consider that private and wouldn't tell anyone but you, mama"

Member 8 Response #1: Wow guys..loved this! awesomeMember 8 Response #2: was having a convo w my daughter the other day..she is 11. I told her i was indigo. She said.."i know..u always know whats going to happen and what im gunna say, im never gunna b able to get away with anything when im a teenager!"shes funny.

Support Your Unique Child

Raising our children is never a one size fits all. Sometimes when we try our best to find the answers for our kids, the universe solves the problem for us and plays it out in such a way where the solutions just come naturally. Most Indigo Children already know what to do. They just need our love and support to feel confident in their decisions.

So you had a tough day. Flunked an exam? Didn’t live up to someone’s expectations? Had a disagreement with your best friend? Well, don’t beat yourself up. Take a moment. Take a walk outside and regroup. You are not a screw up. You are a human doing the best you can. And it is challenging to please everyone, so don’t!

Indigos feel emotions to their core. When they are happy, it is contagious. But when they are down, it runs deep.

So now would be a good time to get out of this funk. A simple technique is through validation.

1. Write yourself a kind loving letter. That’s right. Just backup a bit and see yourself as if you were your own best friend. Your best friend wouldn’t berate you and make you feel worse. She would point out all the great characteristics you have and how wonderful you are. Save this letter and look at it whenever you are feeling down. And you can always add to the contents or even write yourself a new letter.

2. Look in the mirror, eye to eye, and say “I love you.” There might be some emotion that comes up: laughter, tears. This is natural, the important point in not to judge the emotion. All you do is reach for a better thought, “I love you”. Do this every day, as much as you can. It will get easier the more you do this exercise. If the word “love” does not come easily, say “I like you.“ and work your way up to “love”.

3. Connect to nature. And breathe. Earthing yourself will get you calm and focused.

4. Take 16 minutes, find a comfortable chair, and watch this video below. I have seen this ‘Validation’ video so many times and it has helped a lot. I think it will put whatever emotion you are feeling into a better perspective.

Although I am pretty comfortable with the etheric realms, I can find it challenging in the 3D.

My experience with ice skating is a perfect example.

When I first heard about a free skating rink in NYC, I was so excited and yet so scared. It reminded me of when I was in middle school and our class went on an all day ice skating trip out of the city. I hurt my knee pretty bad that day when I fell on the ice. My knee was swollen, I had to limp home and call my dad to come and take care of me. The experience impacted me greatly.

The last few times I was on the ice, I held onto the fence around the rink the entire time. Fear had gripped me so much I could not get myself to let go.

The idea of going skating again so many years later still brings up that painful memory, and has made me resistant to doing it. But I was determined to go since the rink was free and so near my home. I had to do a lot of EFT (body tapping technique to release emotional trauma), etheric cord cutting and other techniques to get past my basic fears. . Then I watched YouTube’s on How To Ice Skate. I figured it couldn’t hurt to get a refresher course.

When I got to the rink and I walked onto the ice, I was glued to the rim for the entire time. I did not fall and I skated for about a half an hour, slowly and hanging on to the wall. The next day, I went skating again. Still, I would not let go of the wall. Each day I became braver, and by the sixth day, I had released my fear of falling and finally found that I no longer needed the wall for support. I actually find that I now love ice skating.

As I know many Indigos have lots of insecurities, I felt it would be good to share this story. Everyone can’t be good at everything but with persistence and perseverance, success is inevitable. It’s good to feel successful in the 3D.

Is it just me, or are people crazier than ever? I have met a continual stream of people that hold qualities of hostility, disrespect and a self-righteousness. And somehow, these people think they are shedding truth.

How is criticizing helpful? How is being hurtful helpful?

Now is a period that is to bring peace, love, joy, good cheer. It is to be the mark of starting new.

I guess for us highly sensitive Enlightened Indigos, it is important for us to have contact with all the horrible and miserable people before we can have people and circumstances that are truly in alignment with the paradigm of the New Age.

With this, I am grateful for the opportunity to meet these sheeple (sheep people- see our book, Enlightened Indigo Child) to see how I choose to live my life. I choose love. I choose to inspire. I choose…

Tonight is a full moon. It happens approximately every 29 days. Sometimes there may be two full moons in one month, making the second full moon the Blue Moon.

This month there is only one, which is fine with me. The last full moon we had was quite striking as it brought us the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. I had only five days of no electric and limited water, but others in my city are still feeling the after effects.

Full Moon

The full moon has often been associated with crime, suicide, mental illness, disasters, accidents, birthrates, fertility, and even werewolves. Conventionally, lunar (moon) effects have been found to have little or nothing to do with human behavior. But as a spiritually sensitive person, I beg to differ. Having sleepless nights and bizarre dreams are common with the full moon.

Realizing that this is the last full moon before December 21, 2012, we decided to the ask the Full Moon of Love and Light if there was anything it wanted to share with us humans :

“Now is the time to sit and breathe and contemplate. 12/21/12 is not a time for atonement. It is a time to start anew, to begin again. The slate has been wiped clean. The days are no longer raccounted for. (That’s why the Mayan calendar ends).

To start over, make a plan. Make it clear which new vibration you choose to have in your life. See it in your mind’s eye and make it into a reality. Don’t “want” anything. Just “feel” it already there. Thank you.”

The ability to start over and rebuild from any point in your life is clear. Intention is everything. Believe it and it is so.

Last week, I had two new clients (that do not know each other) each tell me that I had come to them (one said that she actually saw me) etherically, with a special message for them on the morning of their visits. Each of them was fully awake, so they were not dreaming this encounter.

Personally, this is not something that I was intentionally doing and I don’t remember astral traveling for this to happen. Actually, in the morning when they said they met me, I was doing a distance healing on a client. So it seems, at least consciously, that I was busy doing something else.

So the question is how can I be in three places at the same time? I have no clue!

I know that time and distance are just defining elements of the 3D world we live in. And when you ascend to the frequency of 5D, we release these limiting parameters, and have these abilities. But I think I would know it, when it occurs.

I asked Archangel Michael what happened; this is his response:

"Your Higher Self,which can travel between time and space, traveled to your clients' in need."

What can I learn from this experience?

"Your Higher Self acted as a guide for them. The Higher Self, in general, is here to give assistance when the heart is not clear to do so."

It seems that the clients’ tapped into my Higher Self through their own Higher Self. Fascinating.

I guess they felt that they needed to hear the message from me (my Higher Self) rather than going within to find the answer from their own Higher Self. It was probably more reassuring to get an outsider (me) to confirm what they already may have known.

So next time you are looking for guidance, you might want to contact your own Higher Self before looking to an outsider for solutions.

Archangel Michael said that this is what you should say toget in touch with your Higher Self to receive guidance:

"My Higher Self of Love and Light, thank you for your help with____________."

With all the changes that are going on on our planet Earth, and with me being quite an ultra sensitive person, I decided to take a subway ride to the beach. The ocean, for me, is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get grounded.I am a Pisces (the fish) and that may have something to do with it as well.

I find that it is extremely difficult to stay grounded while living in New York City. I love my city parks, but hugging a tree can only do so much. So off to the beach I went.

I find that the best time to go to the beach is at the end of the day. There are less people and there is less sun exposure. I feel most grounded when I am at the shoreline, partially in the water.

At this location, I am able to have contact with both the sand and water elements. I like to stick my hands in the water to commune with nature.

Due to the many chemicals that are put into our drinking water, the dolphins suggested looking into filters or reverse osmosis systems to purify the water more. It’s not just the fluoride. It’s other chemicals as well.

The Bottlenose Dolphins said that Smiling raises your vibrational energy, which is really important. Actually from many studies done, this is very true. I have heard that if you look into a mirror for 20 minutes a day and keep smiling and looking at yourself smiling, then your body chemistry will change in a short period of time. Eventually, all depression will disappear, and your entire disposition will change.

Smiling Dolphin

I guess that is why dolphins always have a smile on their faces. They really are brilliant creatures.

My mom and I published our book Enlightened Indigo Child. We are now authors.

Our book has been in the works for two years. It’s a labor of love and all of you can now buy a copy of it. Our book has been charged with a high vibration of healing energy and it may help you on many different levels.

Just tell us if you want your copy inscribed with a personal dedication to someone, and it’s yours.

I remember when we first began to get messages about writing the book. I had a few channelings and my mom had many dreams. We just had no idea how to begin. Soon after, my mom heard about a workshop hosted by a publishing company.

At first, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the new publishing lingo and ideas about writing and authoring a book. My mom, being the go-getter that she is, dove right into conceptualizing the many insights that should be included in our book. It was so important that we provide guidance, help, and a sense of higher purpose (as well as a sense of humor) for others to have an easier time on their life’s path. We thought about what other sensitive Indigo Children and their parents should know. Well, here it is in our book.

Learn the secrets that we have mastered and you too can become an Enlightened Indigo Child.

I was just at another Indigo support website and I can’t believe how mean spirited people are. When you are asking for help as an Indigo from other Indigos, the last thing you need them to do is belittle you and question your Indigo-ness.

This should not be an ego driven fraternity/sorority of my Indigo-ness is better than your Indigo-ness and you have to prove that you belong. And if anyone questions you on your being an Indigo, chances are that that person is NOT an Indigo, but someone with a BIG EGO who thinks he is better than everyone else.

True Indigos KNOW that we are all one. And we treat everyone- Indigo or not – with respect, as we ourselves would like to be treated.

This is so important to know since the Earth and everything (including us) is ascending in frequency.

We need to support each other now and leave any BIG EGO somewhere else if we are to make this transition successfully.

I was just doing a little Spring cleaning this afternoon,and discovered some handmade greeting cards that my daughter had made for me when she was young. Deep emotions welled up from within as I looked through the many homemade birthday and Mother’s day cards that she had created, some with three dimensional moving parts and beautiful poetry. Hallmark doesn’t even come close to the intricacies and care of these homemade cards.

It made me think about the many parents that I have met over the years and how they only wanted their child to be “perfect” at everything. If their child wasn’t the best in academics, or art or music or gymnastics, then something must be wrong with their kid and their kid needed to be medicated or intensely tutored so that they could focus on achieving that perfection. The outcome would usually be disappointment for the parents and shame for the child when this perfection didn’t happen. Or worse, the child crashed and burned from non-stop after school intense activities or from medication side effects.

As a parent of an Indigo child, sometimes we have to take a step back and look at our child from a different point of view. Each child is perfect, whole and complete; and we are the chosen lucky ones that get to raise them. No one knows our children as well as we do. If teachers and professionals say “X” about your child or put a diagnostic label on her, that will still never define her capabilities.

As the parent of two grown Indigo Children, the best thing we can do for our children is love and support them as they find their own way. Not everyone can be a rocket scientist or celebrity. But each of us can be the best person that we can be.

So much energy is shifting on the planet. Earthquakes (small and big ones) are happening daily. Solar flares are happening daily. And as for us, many people are getting horribly sick, feeling out of sorts and having frequent bouts of anxiety, aches and pains, vertigo, sleepless nights, and just not feeling right.

Depending on where you are on your path of ascending, you may be feeling these symptoms intensely or really not at all. We have found, that the younger your age, the better able you can handle it. It is our older generation who are stuck in a slower frequency with unhealthy habits that are feeling the brunt of the shifts.

There is a point on the sole of your foot called Kidney 1. Kidney 1 is located in the depression of the sole, when the foot is in plantar flexion. It is approximately at the anterior third and the posterior two thirds of the line from the web between the 2nd and 3rd toes (the big toe is the 1st toe) to the back of the heel.

Kidney 1 Point

Basically, it is on the bottom of both feet, between the 2nd and 3rd toes, a third down the foot. It is a great point to know as it helps with calming your mind and getting back into your body. Most of us are in our heads too much. When you are in your head, you are constantly thinking. Your thoughts are in the future or past, not in the present moment. When you are in your body, you are in the present moment. To stimulate this point, you can use acupressure and hold down the point with your fingers, or press into in with a grounding stone, like obsidian or rose quartz.

Sometimes it is not possible to hug a tree or connect to Mother Earth. This is a good backup for those situations. Perfect for when you are anxious taking an exam or anytime you are feeling ungrounded.

The energetic aspect of the home is very important to the well being of a sensitive Indigo.

Everything has a vibration or frequency. Just because you can’t see or hear something, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. If you can sense that something is present in your home and it shouldn’t be there, then it probably is real.

A great example of invisible energy would be a dog whistle sound. No one would doubt that the sound is very real to the dog, even if we don’t hear the sound ourselves. Honestly, the home may have many energies within it that we may not sense at all. Even those of us who have sixth sense capabilities may not sense all eerie energies. It really depends on how perceptive and sensitive we are.

Here are some basics on how to tell when the home needs an energetic clearing:

· Pets of your home are staying away from certain areas of your home

· Your dog is barking at something that seems like nothing is there

· Disturbed or unsettling sleep, creepy dreams

· Appliances turning themselves on and off even though no one is touching them

· Lights flashing

· Certain areas of the home have extreme temperature changes

· Getting chills, creepy crawly skin, spasms in your body (assuming that you are not sick) when you stay in certain areas of the home or speak about certain people or on certain topics

· Hearing your name called, even though no one is home or everyone who is home says it wasn’t them

· Seeing spirits fully or moving shadows out of the corner of your eye

· Getting unexplained wounds/scratches, especially noticing them upon waking up in the morning

· Feeling itchy

· Intuitively feeling that something is not right in the home; people on edge, getting sick

I think we have had some of these occurrences happen to us. Sometimes unnnatural energies are just passing through, but more often than not, these energies will end up getting comfortable in your home unless you go out of your way to get them to leave.

It can be as simple request as, “I demand all low frequency energies that are not of Love and Light leave now. You are not welcome here. I demand that you leave now.”

If you feel chills or air moving around you, or feel any of the things on the list above, you can bet that there really is something from another dimension in your home.

At this point, I would say “All Creator (G-d, Goddess, Ascended Masters, Angels and Archangels, Buddha, etc.) energies of Love and Light , please be with me now. Thank you for escorting this low frequency energy to wherever it needs to be for its highest path of enlightenment. Thank you.”

Usually this will do the trick. If that doesn’t work, you can go on to say, “Anyone of Love and Light who knows this entity, please be here now and escort this lost energy to wherever it needs to be for its highest path of enlightenment.”

Sometimes a lost soul needs to recognize the being that is escorting it, or it will not leave. Not everyone recognizes the higher frequency energies of different gods/goddesses.

And finally you can continue to clear the space by requesting, “Ascended beings of Love and Light, please remove all cords of attachment between me, my home, my family (you can name them individually for clarity purposes), and this energy that has been cleared. Please vacuum all the debris from this clearing and send this energy to the Light to be transmuted for the highest good of all concerned. Thank you.”

And that should do it. If you still feel that there is something lingering, it may be time to call in a professional space clearer for this purpose. Personally, I have done many clearings of many homes and people. At times, there can be sticky alien energies that do not move easily. Some may have to be taken in pieces due to all the cords of attachments and some have hidden layers of cronies that may be present, but not seen until you get through the layers above them. Some may have a message that they want to tell. It doesn’t matter. My philosophy is they don’t belong and they have to leave. Period.

It does help if you get yourself grounded before doing this clearing as it will keep you from losing power and falling into the fear mode. Bringing in the element of smoke and fire through the use of sage and candles can also be a benefit. Sometimes I have a CD playing with grounding sounds (whales, nature, singing bowls, etc.) in the background to assist in keeping the whole situation and me more fully in my power.

I hope this helps those who have uninvited guests in their homes. My mom often says, “If they aren’t paying rent, then it’s time for them to move out.”

If you stay strong and in the emotion of Love (not fear), you should succeed.

Sick building syndrome is not just for people who work in poorly ventilated office buildings. According to the World Health Organization, up to 30% of new and remodeled buildings worldwide may be linked to this syndrome. But it is also present in older buildings as well.

It usually comes down to flaws in heating, ventilation or air conditioning. Other contributing factors include the outgassing of volatile organic compounds (VOC) like formaldehyde and plastics from new construction materials (new carpeting is really bad), or mold or inordinate amounts of dust, dirt and animal hairs.

Since moving from your home may be impossible, here is a check list of what you can do to lessen the toxicity in your home:

· Keep your house as clean as possible. Dust and vacuum daily. Change the bed linens at least twice a week. Remove all carpeting. Not only does carpeting outgas, it also collects tons of dirt in the microfibers that you are breathing in constantly. Adverse health effects suffered by carpet installers are a clear-cut way to see the hazards of this product. Most documented are neurological problems and higher rates of cancer. If you must have carpet, make sure that it is as natural as possible.

· Use natural cleaners. Replace chemical cleaners with essential oils, baking soda and vinegar. Tea tree oil is especially effective at removing mold and mildew. Baking soda acts as an abrasive to remove stains and residue from glass, ceramic and stainless steel. You can add a few drops of water to make a paste to clean the stove, sink, tub or toilet. White vinegar is excellent as a window and mirror cleaner. Add your favorite essential oil if you want a pleasant smell.

As a side note to this, you should avoid all artificially fragranced products: air fresheners, household cleaners, detergents. Unscented may very well be a highly processed product. It takes a lot of chemicals to mask a smell, so fragrance-free anything may be full of toxic chemicals. Fluffer sheets used in the dryer can be more toxic than your detergent. Use the silicone dryer balls instead. Plus it is much more cost effective, as they have an infinite reusable lifespan.

Leaking of bis phenyl A into your water from plastic bottles has already been documented. And the longer the water has been in the bottle, the more BPA you will be ingesting.

· Do not use the microwave. Microwave ovens are radiation ovens. When you say it like that, the reality of this machine is clear. The microwave radiation distorts the molecular structure of the foods; it destroys much of the nutrients and causes many problems with the immune system. If you value your health, take the extra couple of minutes to heat the food up the right way.

· Limit cell phone and cordless phone use. These phones expose us to a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMF) energy. An analysis of the most rigorous studies found convincing evidence linking the use of handheld phones to brain tumors, especially in users of a decade or longer. In addition to this, we know personally of people who feel physically ill when using the cell phone. It affects brainwaves. Period. Use it sparingly and stick to the land line (NOT cordless) as much as possible. Buy an EMF protector and install it on your cell phone.

· Nobody would sit at a desk under high voltage power lines. Yet we will happily sit a foot away from a computer screen, with a computer and printer on the desk next to us, and perhaps even a power supply near our feet. The old box-shaped cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitors generally have quite high levels of radiation. Best to invest in a flat screen monitor. And of course EMF protectors are essential.

· Limit television watching or better yet, remove it completely from the home. (See The Joy of No TVhttp/enlightenedindigochild.webs.com/apps/blog/show/5823451-the-joy-of-no-tv.) Research shows that your brain literally shifts into a passive state when you’re watching television. Experiencing "brain fog” is not uncommon. Your alpha brain waves increase after television exposure. Alpha waves are commonly associated with a relaxed meditative state as well as brain states associated with suggestibility. Too much time spent in the low alpha wave state caused by TV can cause unfocussed daydreaming and inability to concentrate.

· Remove electronics from the bedroom, especially TV, computers and radio alarm clocks. Again they release a continual dose of EMFs. Iif they must be present, then they should be as far away from your head as possible when sleeping and as close to the floor as possible.

· Remove your shoes before coming into your home. Tracking in dirt and germs from outside into the home should be avoided.

· Discard all aluminum or Teflon based cookware. Aluminum will leach into your food. It is a known neurotoxin, causing brain degeneration. Teflon or stick free cookware will eventually chip and enter your food. Better to use high quality stainless steel, cast iron or titanium.

· Invest in an air purifier and negative ionizer to eliminate air borne toxins – mold spores, dust, cigarette smoke, pet hair, hydrocarbon toxins and remnants of chemtrails from outside that we may be carrying into our homes.

· Invest in a water purifier. City water is loaded with chemicals to make it potable. We have a double carbon and alumina filter installed under our sink. You may need a plumber to install it, but it isdefinitely worth the expense. Not only does the water taste cleaner, but you are actually getting quality water that will help your body detoxify properly, instead of poisoning it even more. Other options include fresh spring or well water, reverse osmosis or a water distiller.

· Remove fluoride from your intake. This includes toothpastes, mouthwashes, fluoride rinses and municipal drinking water. It is an endocrine disruptor and totally inactivates your pineal gland. The pineal gland is so important in developing Third Eye intuitive abilities as well as regulating melatonin production (important for proper sleep).

By integrating just one of these techniques into your home and maintaining it, your life will change for the better dramatically. The ability to think clearly and sleep better should be obvious within a few weeks, if not sooner. Prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. Get started today. Your home is your sanctuary. It is up to you to maintain it.

I saw a client today, who was upset at her son (he’s an Indigo) for getting an average grade in a class that he hates. Another client (she’s an Indigo) was upset with herself for making a medical appointment now, even though she should have done it 6 months ago. Their feelings on these situations were that they were disappointed since the outcome was not what they had hoped for or planned.

When it comes to personal progress, everyone goes at their own pace. Everything can’t be done yesterday or done to perfection. Taking a step forward in anything is something to be proud of.

To quote from the song The Climb, “Ain't about how fast I get there./Ain't about what's waiting on the other side./It's the climb.”

Or in colloquial terms, “It’s all about the journey,not the destination.”

So don’t judge yourself too harshly if things don’t work out the way you planned or they take a little longer to get there.

There is a divine plan to everything. When you are doing the best you can, that is all you can do. Do not judge or beat yourself up over what could have been. Just be.

It may have started a little before Thanksgiving Day and then escalated on that Thursday or Friday morning, since the planets around us were in a very unusual alignment on those days. Besides being in Mercury Retrograde, we are also experiencing unusual amounts of solar flares.

Solar Flare Activity

A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the Sun which appears as a very bright spot and a gaseous surface eruption. Solar flares release huge amounts of high energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot. They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun. And there appears to be a direct connection between the Sun’s solar storms and human biology.

The prophecies of the Mayan elders speak of a changing paradigm during our era. The words of the Maya say that we are now in a time of “change and conflict”. The change is coming from the "outside” in the way of weather, natural phenomena, celestial disturbance (sun flares) and manmade self-inflicted trauma. The conflict comes from the ‘inside’ in the way of personal challenge, grief, bewilderment, depression, anxiety, and fear. It is said we are at a time of choosing a new path, deciding on a new self and community direction, venturing into the unknown, finding our true identity of being. Others will choose to stay on the same road, stay with the familiar, and place great effort to maintain “predictability".

The photonic (sun) energy now coming to Earth, is affecting our biology and our minds. Our thoughts create our reality (Law of Attraction) so it is important that we focus on what we want, rather than we don’t want. Otherwise, we will manifest more of what we don’t want. If you are in the process of change and transformation (who isn’t?), this solar energy may work well for you. On the other hand, if you are stuck in the past through grief and anger, you will simply manifest more reasons to remain stuck in victimization until you are ready to release it. So it is really important to be conscious and think positive to manifest more positive outcomes.

Solar flares are very disruptive to those of us who are sensitive: tiredness, dizziness, hearing issues, shakiness, feeling ungrounded, floaty, nauseous, vertigo, anxiety, depression, hot flashes and difficulty breathing. This is the short list.

This morning I woke up shaky. No matter how much water or nourishment I put in my body, I still felt like I was trembling. For a couple of days, my mom has had bouts of vertigo and feeling like she was in an echo chamber, in addition to spaciness and hot sweats. (No, she doesn't have an ear infection).

Being the healers that we are, we cleared the karmic issues with people, places and things, used acupressure and plants to ground, took salt baths, ate grounding foods like beets, carrots, and turnips and used chakra balancing tuning folks thinking that would help. These techniques gave some relief, but only to a certain degree.

You can read our many other blogs on these topics (grounding, eating healthy) for more information. We’re doing the best we can. And we hope this information assists you through this transition period.

Below are some other websites that explain the solar flares and their implications. We know that this will be helpful at this challenging time.

In conventional circles, Thanksgiving is when we stuff our faces, and show off to our family. But as Indigos, we know that Thanksgiving is a time to remember our blessings and feel gratitude for them.

Reflecting on the spirit of the holiday, here are some channeled words of wisdom from the original Pilgrims at the original Thanksgiving celebration.

We were scared; most of our food supplies were gone. Our people were dying or sick and we were not prepared for the cold season ahead. The native people, of this new land,opened their homes to us. They provided food; took care of our sick and helped us bury the dead.

These glorious people taught us how to forage, and to redefine our own limitations. They were our light when there was darkness all around us. For this we are grateful. For this we give thanks. Amen.

I hope this holiday reminds you of the many blessings present in your life. Situations we face today are not as dire as those the Pilgrims faced, and I am grateful for this.

In my life, gratitude is a daily habit, like brushing my teeth or combing my hair. Today is just a more conscious version of it. Time for a gratitude dance!

It has come to my attention very recently that the end of the Mayan calendar is not December 21, 2012, but is actually October 28, 2011. This theory has been confirmed by Carl Johan Calleman Ph.D, an independent researcher on the Mayan Calendar phenomenon.

Mayan Calendar

I guess the Hollywood studios had it all wrong. We can just ignore all those 2012 disaster movies and documentaries. Let’s get real!

In my opinion, it doesn’t really matter what the date is, as changes are already occurring, even now as we speak. No one can ignore the inordinate amount of earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes in the recent few months. The Earth is shifting and it is affecting everyone.

I live in NYC and no one in my family has ever felt an earthquake until August of this year. Then we had the hurricane a few days later. (My brother had so much water damage to his apartment that he actually had mushrooms growing on his ceiling. Yuck!) All I can say is “Thank goodness we didn’t have a tsunami!”

So I think the end of the Mayan calendar may be sooner than we think. To gain clarity, I went straight to the source: The Highest Consciousness of the Mayan Calendar of the Light

No fear. Somewhere along your path there has been put a belief of fear. This is not so. It is a time of enlightenment. It is a time of full potential; to see your full gifts, to use them.

It is when consciousness will be heightened. The veils are thinner and there will be no differentiation from the other vibrations that exist simultaneously with you.

Your goal is to walk the path; not to put down your talents, but to embrace them.

These are the steps to achieve this.

1. Find your gratitude

2. Find your love

3. Find your passion

4. Find your light

5. Get grounded

6. Feel the peace

7. Know that everyone is one

When further queried about thespecific date of October 28, 2011: This is the date when the portals open; the veils will be very thin or gone.

They went on to further say:

You will have “Ahha!” moments or feel the depths of despair. You must find any way you can to stay grounded.This is key to your ascension.

For those of us who are conscious and awake, the shift will be noteworthy. We will be presented with what we need. This is not material needs but something much more significant that will affect us on a profound level. For those who are oblivious and continue to stay with the masses, the fear will continue to build on itself to such a point that people will be easily duped into believing whatever the media tells them.

Since we are all ascending on many different levels, it is important to keep a clear mind and a clean diet at this time so that the changes are effortless and comfortable. Grounding and a wholesome environment will keep you in your power and at your best.

As the Earth continues to ascend in its vibration, there will be a release of old paradigms and a shift to new ones. Many of us will be feeling emotional, mental and physical discomfort as we are confronted with our own limitations.

During this October, we enter the 7th and final day of the 9th wave of the Mayan Calendar on October 11 (full moon) and its end on Oct. 28. We will have some powerful energy downloads with the new and full moons and some sobering realizations that will either propel us into new ways of being or depress us more deeply into victim consciousness.

The secret is to stay as connected to earth as you can, so that you are in resonance with the planet. The miracle vibration of ascension affects all of us. Peace, joy and good health are ours to have.

Although most people would arrive at the beach sometime in the middle of the day to soak up the rays and get some color, I am not most people.

In this modern day of Vitamin D deficiency that is contributing to a plethora of illnesses (depression, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and of course, rickets), I have come to believe that it is extremely important to get a safe dose of the Sunshine Vitamin (Vitamin D) whenever you can.

Since I am unwilling to get a sunburn and deal with the sequelae of pain, and I have no desire to look like a glowing alien or burnt toast, I have to be pretty conscious about how I get my exposure to sunshine.

Indigos are way too sensitive to everything, including the sun. So we need to follow some simple common sense rules to avoid overexposure.

I arrived at the beach at six p.m. It was beautiful. The sun was not as intense as it would have been during the earlier hours; plus the mobs of people that were already there were leaving. It couldn’t have been better. The quiet solitude of the semi- deserted beach, along with the cool breeze of the ocean was absolutely perfect.

The main purpose of my expedition was to get grounded and to detox. As you know from my other blogs, this is probably the most important aspect for Indigos to stay healthy. Actually in this fast paced world, it is probably the most important aspect for anyone to stay healthy. The beach and ocean salt water were the ideal environment to achieve this. In clearings, we have found wet earth, soil or sand helps expedite the grounding process due to the electrical charge being released by the body into the earth. (That will be another blog, I’m sure.)

I began with a long walk along the wet sand; my feet enjoying the coolness of the tide going in and out over my hot toes. After about 20 minutes, I felt moved to place my hands into the ocean water, and to read whatever it had to say.

It was then that I experienced something quite unique. Instantly, I was able to hear the voices of the Mermaids. In retrospect, there might have been some Mermen speaking as well, but I wasn’t really aware of it. Perhaps it is because I tend to resonate with the female energy in general, or perhaps Mother Earth (female energy connected to my feet) wanted the female energy of the ocean to speak to me.

No matter, for whatever reason, it was perfect. When I put my hands into the water, I instantly had the awareness of Mermaid energy. The Mermaid energies were able to help with the energy release process. They had words of encouragement to share and only assistance to give. It was as if I was being coached on how to ground better.

Some guidance that they would like me to pass on is to stay stationary at the shore line, which is where the water hits the sand. They said it is easier to stay grounded to both the water element and the sand (earth) element at the shoreline. It makes for a better clearing/ grounding/ detoxing experience. The other grounding tip they would like me to pass along is to breathe. The breathing should have a natural cadence, in through the nose and out through the mouth; deeply from the abdomen.

Try this the next time you want to get grounded and meet some new Mermaid friends. It worked for me!

One of the most amazing gifts that many Indigo children possess is the ability to talk to animals. Most household pets, like cats and dogs, are quite open to being our best friend and confidante.

And why is it that most pets can so easily talk to Indigos so well? Probably, since they are at a high vibration (like us human Indigos) of expressing unconditional love. With the ability to love so deeply, our animal friends are our true teachers and buddies. These animals have the capacity to allow many of us human Indigos, who can be so rigid or unforgiving of the world’s imperfections, to truly see, remember and re-embrace as to why we incarnated at this time.

Like human Indigos, these animals are highly sensitive to their environment, and can even have food allergies like their Indigo caretakers. They too, when surrounded by negative people and places can close down, act out or turn inward. And just like the Indigo, given the right food, these pets will flourish.

So what is considered the right food for these highly enlightened beings? Well, we know that if an Indigo is given processed white or even whole grain products to eat, they are likely to develop sinus issues, allergies, candida yeast infections, behavior and learning problems.

With these highly spiritually developed pets, the same results will occur if given this type of food. Just like there are gluten free products in the human cuisine, the same is true for pet food. An added plus in feeding your pet a gluten free diet, besides good health, is that there is likely to be less plaque and tartar on their teeth. (The same is true for people.)

An ingredient that is typically seen in a lot of “natural” or “healthy” pet food is sweeteners: beet sugar (not the pulp), fructose, cane molasses, corn syrup (a derivative of corn starch- gives product moisture and flexibility), sorbitol, and sucrose (table sugar). Just like Indigo children, these pets are highly sensitive and cannot handle such substances.

These sweeteners produce the same highs and lows as table sugar and a great deal of stress on the pancreas and adrenals, a condition that may result in fatigue, irritability and diabetes. Corn syrup in particular dilutes other vital nutrients in the diet by providing empty calories devoid of vitamins, minerals, proteins or fats, and can also over stimulate the production of insulin and acidic digestive juices. Not to mention that there may also be dental problems developing, such as cavities and gum disease (loose teeth, swollen or bleeding gums).

Also,many pets (like people) get addicted to sweeteners (junk food), which can cause or aggravate health problems, including chronic ear infections, skin conditions and obesity. Some alternatives would be blackstrap molasses, honey, and Grade B maple syrup. Blackstrap Molasses is not very sweet compared to cane molasses, but it is a source of many trace minerals.

Also,consider that like many Indigo Children, pets can have a great intolerance to soy products as they are missing the necessary amino acid to properly digest this protein. Better to stick to real protein like meat, fish (make sure it is mercury free) or hemp seed.

Unlike what is in human grade food, meat byproducts are common in our pet’s food. Due to the lack of knowledge, it is sometime difficult to truly understand what is always in these meat amalgams. Let’s just keep the rule simple, your pet is special, let’s not feed her some unknown substance with questionable ingredients.
